I agree with Rob, playing 20 year old props for part of a game, occasionally, is fair enough to give them experience but throwing them in at the deep end at this tender age will ruin them,. it might be all right if you are a flighty back but not in the real mens department.

Robjoenz, how about Michael Smith from Stains/via Hull. A big lad and a good ball handler but not sure about his stamina. Where oh where are we going to start looking for a big mobile prop who is good enough to play for Wigan, I don't really know, how soon can we move Danny Tickle upto the front row, still very young, see my comments elsewhere but he has 3 years experience now at the top level and he would be big enough, he is only 2lbs lighter than Davico even though that might have been a bit small for a prop, quick enough and a good side step.

Hull would never let us have him but I would like King at Wigan. He has everything we need in a prop. Size, strength, movement and age on his side.

I don't know enough about Michael Smith but if I got a pound for everytime Mario said that we should sign him since Cas went down I would have about £4!

Whats the story with Davico? if he is injured long term,get shot of him. Bring back Craig Smith, there was a guy who loved the club and gives his all every time he laces up his boots.He would be back like a shot.We need to win something this year!!! Please god!!!

I am not so sure he would be back like a shot, he'll have just settled back in Aus with his family. He went from saying he wanted to stay another year to deciding he would retire, I would expect there to be more to it than that, and I might so daring as to suggest it had something to do with Lindsay.

I agree playing hargreaves and prescott every week would be tough on them, so maybe alternate them on the subs bench? I heard a rumour last year that wigan were planning on building danny tickle up and moving him out in the front row, because we had a lot of good second row people and he was one they thought could be used as a prop!
